I do feel that I need to let you know why this posting is happening at this time. I recently got involved with a group of people that exists on Facebook, the CANADIANS AGAINST THE NORTH AMERICAN UNION. This is why this blog entry has happened and I don't know if I have it in me to continue on this path, in this manner on this blog either. That, time will only tell. So read and maybe just maybe you might change your mind as I did mine when I faced my mortality head on.
Well, I have been thinking about this for the last few days and I even more importantly have been trying to figure out how to tell all you this without making it too long-winded.
I was really excited to see that such a group existed; that many people of all walks of life could band together and do something that would truly effect change. I have been once again fool by the very machine that I fight so hard against. THIS group on this facebook is fabulous for spilling ideas and sharing knowledge. We all rival everyday how we all agree and disagree with each other. We all take a bit away or give a lot to the topics and debates. And we feel good that we are doing so. Well, the sad truth is this; like so many more before it is just a bitch-fest. Not one of you on this group is willing to risk it all for the greater good. You all love your comfortable lives that fit into your comfortable boxes, and I mean all of you! From the obedient mother that can't do anything because she has worked so hard for the house she lives in and the car she drives and the garden she tends to every summer all the way to the man who doesn't pay HIS income tax because he has found a loophole that works for HIM to get out of the system. Both, and all cases for that matter, are self-centered and not really fighting the good fight or any fight for that matter. You maybe saying to yourself, "Well, is V ready to give it all up?" I have two kids and a wonderful wife, and yes… if it means that my children get to live in a world were they are free from the evil people, and the clutches they have on us, that we are not... I would sacrifice it all for them. But YOU are not willing because of fear, passiveness and the idea that if someone else does it for you your hands stay clean and you can ride the coat-tails guilt free, then you are useless. Cold, I know... but it is the truth. You all bitch and complain on this group that you want to EFFECT change but no one is willing to really DO ANYTHING. This saddens me, how blind you all are, this place, this group could be so much more then you are willing to let it be. Why, again because you are all self-centered... humans. So bitch and complain and hate me for spilling the truth about you and our kind. You talk and share ideas and watch the world pass you by. You may think that by typing anything on this group you are going to affect the world, unfortunlety... you still lock your doors when you get home and close your blinds. You sit in front of your computer, T.V. or maybe even a book and you think by letting the group know how you feel it will project some sort of consequence. NO, you are being sucked into just another tool used by the "men in power" to control you. You sit there and you type and you type and you FEEL like this is change but you are just typing!! And until you, ALL of you, are willing to stand up for what you believe in, until you are ready to pick up a sword and shield (metaphorical or literal) and FIGHT... and are ready to give it all up... until then... you all will live in fear. I cannot help anyone who is not willing to help themselves. You are all Evey and I am V.
"People should not be afraid of there governments, governments should be afraid of there people." - V
"And you’re going to do that by blowing up a building?" - Evey
"The building is a symbol, as is the act of destroying it. Symbols given power by people, alone a symbol is meaningless, but with enough people... blowing up a building can change the world!" - V
(Change "blowing up to a building" to "refusal to pay illegal taxes")
I may be an idealist or a visionary, born way before my time. Well, if you are still reading this I am impressed and a little surprised. But now I must bid you all farewell! This is not the group I thought it was, and you may want to post a response or you may not. Either way it matters not. I am no longer part of this group of talk and conjecture. So on keep bitching and complaining and when your children look into your eyes and ask you "Why do we have to do what THEY say" you can hang your head and remember that when you could have effected change... you did nothing. And I'm sure there are going to be those of you that think you are all clever with your responses and I guess if that makes you sleep better at night...well, have at it.
Goodbye, good luck...and how will you ever know if you don't
